Chapter 1 THE BASICS OF ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY Anatomy Deals with the form and arrangement of body parts Physiology Deals with the function of body parts Function is determined by how it’s constructed Characteristics of Life Movement: changes in body position or motion of internal parts Characteristics of Life Responsiveness Sensing and reacting to internal or external changes Characteristics of Life Growth Increase in size without a change in shape Characteristic of Life Reproduction The production of offspring Characteristics of Life Respiration Obtaining oxygen, using oxygen to release energy from foods, and removing gaseous wastes Characteristics of Life Digestion Changing food substances into forms that can be absorbed. Characteristic of Life Absorption Moving substances through membranes and into body fluids. Characteristics of Life Circulation The movement of substances in body fluids Characteristics of Life Assimilation The changing of substances into different forms Characteristic of Life Excretion The removal of body wastes All previous activities make up METABOLISM! Maintenance of Life Requirements of all organisms Water Food Releases energy from food, drives metabolism Heat Supplies energy Oxygen Used in metabolic processes, reactions and to transport substances Product of metabolic reactions, helps govern the rates of reactions Pressure Application of force to something, (in humans: atmospheric and hydrostatic pressures help breathing and blood movements) Homeostasis Maintaining a stable internal environment Regulates: Temperature Heart rate Breathing Etc. Levels of Organization Organization of Human Body Body Cavities Axial Dorsal Cranial and spinal Ventral Thoracic and abdominalpelvic Organization of Human Body Appendicular Includes upper and lower limbs Thoracic and Abdominalpelvic Membranes Thoracic Membranes Pleural membranes line the thoracic cavity and cover the lungs Mediastinum separates the thoracic cavity into R and L halves Pericardial Membrane surround heart Abdominopelvic Membranes Peritoneal membranes cover Abdop. Cavity and over organs Visceral- means organ Parietal- means wall Organ Systems Body Covering Systems Integumentary System Hair, nails, sweat glands, sebaceous glands Protects underlying tissues, regulates body temp., houses sensory receptors, and synthesizes various substances. Organ Systems Support and Movement Systems Skeletal System Composed of bones, cartilages, and ligaments that bind bones Provides framework, protective shields, attachment for muscles, produces blood cells and stores inorganic salts Muscular System Muscles Moves body parts, maintains posture, produces body heat Organ Systems Integration and Coordination Nervous System Brain, spinal cord, nerves, and sense organs Receives impulses from sensory parts, interprets impulses, acts on them by stimulating muscles or glands to respond Endocrine System Glands that secrete hormones Regulate metabolism Includes: pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal glands, the pancreas, ovaries, testes, pineal gland and thymus gland Organ Systems Transport Cardiovascular System Circulatory system includes: heart, blood, blood vessels Transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones, and wastes Lymphatic System Lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, thymus, and spleen Transports lymph from tissues to bloodstream, carries certain fatty substances away from digestive organs, defending body against disease-causing agents Organ Systems Absorption and Excretion Digestive System Receives food, converts molecules to forms that can pass through membranes, eliminates materials not absorbed Mouth, tongue, teeth, salivary glands, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, liver, gallbladder, pancreas, small and large intestines. Respiratory System: Takes in and sends out air and exchanges gases between the air and the blood Includes: nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, and lungs Organ Systems Cont. Urinary System: Includes: bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra Filters wastes from blood and helps maintain water and electrolyte balance Reproductive System Concerned with production of new organisms Male System includes: scrotum, testes, epididymides, vasa deferentia, seminal vesicles, prostate gland, bulbourethral glands, penis, and urethra Female System includes: ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, clitoris, and vulva Anatomical Terms Abduction Movement away from midline Adduction Movement towards midline Anatomical Terms Anatomical Position Body is upright with arms and hands turned forward Anatomical Terms Anterior Towards the front of body Posterior Relating to the back or the dorsal aspect of the body Anatomical Terms Deep Away from the surface Superficial On or near the surface Anatomical Terms Distal Away from the point of origin of a structure Proximal Towards the point of origin (near) Anatomical Terms Dorsal Relating to the back or posterior portion Ventral Refers to anterior part of body Anatomical Terms Extension Movement of a joint resulting in separation of two ventral surfaces Flexion Movement of a joint resulting in approximation of two ventral surfaces Anatomical Terms Inferior Term indicating that a structure lies beneath another Superior Above in relation to another structure (towards the head) Anatomical Terms Lateral Located away from midline Medial Situated close to or at the midline of the body or organ Anatomical Terms Prone Position of body in which the ventral surface faces down Supine Position of body in which the ventral surface faces up Body Planes Frontal (coronal) Vertical plane at right angles to the sagittal plane that divides the body into anterior and posterior portions Sagittal Plane Vertical plane extending in an anteroposterior direction, dividing the body into right and left parts (midline) Transverse (horizontal) Right angles to the long axis of the body (bottom and top halves) Body Planes
